Let Maryland’s historic and iconic lighthouses guide your journey. Like a gleaming constellation draped across Maryland’s Chesapeake waterscape, Maryland’s lighthouses shine with a unique beauty and unforgettable character. From the Concord Point Lighthouse illuminating Havre de Grace in the North, to the Point Lookout Light at the tip of Southern Maryland, they make unforgettable waypoints for a tour of the Old Line State. See traditional tower lighthouses such as the majestic Piney Point and Turkey Point lighthouses. Or look out for iconic Chesapeake screw-pile lights including Cambridge’s Choptank River Lighthouse, the Drum Point Lighthouse at the Calvert Marine Museum, and the Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse in Baltimore Harbor—all of which stand on stilts like Victorian mansions hovering over the waters. Also look for the Sandy Point Shoal Lighthouse. Built in 1883 and visible from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, it’s a gorgeous brick tower standing atop a caisson that rises above the bay’s waters.
